Thanks, Blown. I enjoy stopping to take phots, and it keeps me from rushing at times. And posting online gives me some motivation to keep up momentum.

I inspected the shift rods today. The both look fine, just in need of paint (or powder-coat).

The linkage, though, looks a bit (or more) loose. The plastic bushings might be worn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It took about 30 seconds to remove the pivot shaft with my press. The bushings are definitely done.

Speaking of the press, I installed the rear wheel bearings in the trailing arms today. Based on my bench testing, I decided to coat the bearing cavity in the arm, which was blasted to bare metal, with Boeshield T-9.
Very easy to press the bearing, with little force required. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I like using a press with a pressure gauge, so that when the bearing is seated, I can see the pressure ramp up.

Good reason to tap into my newly created home hardware supply, sourced from McMaster-Carr.

Then time to press in the wheel flanges. Note: inner races of the bearing supported from below.

Terrific work Bob.
I have a bead blaster you are welcome to use if you need to work on some of the really bad stuff. |

Tools are Swell! Agreed. Here's my latest that I picked up from the local freight delivery company today. I was stupid when I bought the Dake bench top model since the working height is only about 16 inches. My excuse is that I replaced an older bench top press. But I need something with more reach, so I got the Dake floor model. This has a 38 inch working height. My son will inherit the bench model. Attached thumbnail(s) |

One of the half-shaft flanges has some upturned edges on the inside.

Took care of those with a flat file.

To test the flange flatness, as was discussed in another thread, I scuffed the mounting faces on some emery paper. Looks good.
